Say 'I love you' or 'I hate you' with a cockroach

The Bronx Zoo in New York thinks nothing says Valentine's Day more than a cockroach.
 
Whether you think naming a cockroach after your "valentine" is romantic or you want to name a cockroach after your ex-significant other, the zoo is kicking off its annual "name-a-roach" event.
 
For the next few weeks, anyone interested can name a Madagascar Hissing Cockroach in honor of someone they love or don't quite love.
 
For a $10 donation, anyone can download a certificate from the zoo's website, featuring the name chosen for the cockroach.
 
The proceeds go to toward the Wildlife Conservation Society.
